I have been shipping software since 2020, and building things on my own for much longer than that. My base is release engineering and developer productivity: I defined the development and release flows for hundreds of teams at INDITEX, and at VMware I built and released Bitnami catalog assets and a Go tool that triaged pipeline failures across teams.
Since 2024 I build and run the engine behind Maiteego, a multiplatform AI travel app: the Go backend, the React Native app, the LangGraph agents and the two Kubernetes clusters it runs on, with two partners on design and funding.
I care about the flow as much as the code. Good teams rest on good pipelines, clear ownership and decisions written down, and most of the tools I have built came from that conviction.
